For a newly established business relationship with the Starmus Science Festival and in support of its Stephen Hawking Medal for Science Communication award, Omega will present each of this year’s three winners with a special 18k yellow gold Omega Speedmaster watch. The connection with a space and science festival like Starmus should make sense to anyone familiar with Omega and the Speedmaster’s history with NASA and its continued involvement in related projects. Let’s see the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Chronograph Starmus Science Award Gold watch, which is not available for sale, and its purpose for existing.
Expect for all the gold and the engraved case back, this replica Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Chronograph seems to be the classic Moonwatch – the Omega Speedmaster Professional in many aspects. Here, the 42mm case, as well as the bezel, hands, and applied indices are 18k yellow gold. Essentially, anything that was either steel or white in color has been replaced with gold, consisting of the tachymeter scale and the printed elements of the dial. Fully monochromatic, gold looks as beautiful as ever paired with black here on the dial, bezel, and leather strap.
Although Omega doesn’t provide many details on these specific limited models, we can assume that the specs are mostly consistent with the standard Moonwatch. Of course, inside is the manually wound Omega 1861 cam-actuated chronograph movement that is more or less the modern version of the movement that popularly accompanied the NASA astronauts to the Moon.
As mentioned, the typical seahorse logo-engraved case back is replaced here with a special engraving for the Starmus Festival and the Stephen Hawking Medal for Science Communication. The engraving matches the actual medal that winners will receive in addition to the watch. It describes the first ever human spacewalk by Russian cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, with the “Red Special” guitar of Queen’s lead guitarist Brian May emerging from beyond the horizon, and the Starmus logo.
In 1851, two watchmakers from Poland and France joined creative forces with the aim of producing innovative timepieces. Today, the vision of Antoni Patek and Adrien Philippe is a global brand, considered to be one of the most prestigious watchmakers in the world. Since the early days of the company, this fake Patek Philippe watches have been among the most coveted, with two of the earliest notable clients being Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
Alongside rare and historical timepieces, Patek Philippe has produced many different timeless models for both men and ladies, with designs and functions to suit individual tastes and requirements. From the sporty steel-cased Nautilus collection to the opulent, diamond-encrusted Calatrava, a Patek Philippe could be the perfect watch you’ve been looking for. Online auction aggregator, Barnebys, guides us through choosing a Patek Philippe timepiece.
Patek Philippe has become a good selection among watch fans because of its timeless layout which keep elegance and style over the years. However, from time to time, the Swiss watchmakers have ventured beyond the classic leather strap and round face look, showing something a little more extravagant and unbelievable. Collections such as the Nautilus, Calatrava, and Grand Complications have released models either fully or partially-set with diamonds in trendy materials like rose gold. Besides precious gems and metals, there are the fake Patek Philippe timepieces available with unique features as well, such as minute repeaters and exposed skeleton mechanics.
